In using Kubuntu 20.04 and have lots of issues with snap that I can work around. I have a specific issue with the chromium browser not installing:
snap install chromium
error: cannot perform the following tasks:
Run configure hook of "chromium" snap if present (run hook "configure": cannot perform operation: mount --rbind /home /tmp/snap.rootfs_U0ZnmW//home: Permission denied)
I can live with this and find an alternative source however it is affecting apt:
apt-get -yfu dselect-upgrade

Since chromium is not installing via apt or snap I cannot remove/purge it. How do I stop apt from wanting to install chromium via snap?
I've tried removing /var/cache/apt/archives/chromium-browser_1%3a85.0.4183.83-0ubuntu0.20.04.2_amd64.deb but apt always gets it back somehow.

After upgrade from ubuntu 20.04 LTS to 22.04.1 LTS, I got a very persistent error:

was very persistent and was hindering any apt-involved installations.
Thus, no apt install nor apt upgrade was working.
After long search and trying around,
where I did:
sudo apt --fix-broken install
sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock
sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend
sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/lock
sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/lock
sudo dpkg --configure -a
And then, cave(!) this removes firefox from your installed package list
and thus after this command you cannot use firefox any more on your computer
until you install it - so I did that - but I had a second computer
where I could google around while I had no firefox on that machine.
I couldn't install chromium browser or other browsers, because apt was not working! So run this command only when you have a second computer or at least your mobile to surf for instructions!
sudo dpkg --force depends -P firefox
I found a hint in
https://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=3097766
My solution was:
# Add Mozilla Team PPA
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/ppa
# Set PPA priority
sudo gedit /etc/apt/preferences.d/mozillateamppa
# The command creates and opens empty config file in Gedit text editor.
# When it opens, add the lines below and save it:
Package: firefox*
Pin: release o=LP-PPA-mozillateam
Pin-Priority: 501
save and close that file.
after that, I could do finally:
sudo apt --fix-broken install
# and then:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
and then, all apt or snap commands were working again flawlessly.
note:
Now, I encounter
sudo apt install chromium-browser

But this didn't help.
Finally, I found out the solution!
In former days, when my / containing system partition was too full, I sym-linked /var/log. I linked it to somehwere in my home folder. But then, I moved snap back.
- Run hook connect-plug-host-hunspell of snap "firefox" (run hook "connect-plug-
host-hunspell": cannot perform operation: mount --rbind /var/log /tmp/snap.rootf
s_hE2Zj1//var/log: Permission denied)
The permission was denied, because it tried to mount to a symlink.
All I had to do was:
sudo rm /var/log
sudo mkdir -p /var/log
Now, it is not a symlink any more. So it can actually mount to it.
I'm trying to get some packages to install in Raspian Jessy, running command:
sudo apt-get upgrade
but it fails with:
'libpam-runtime' is missing final newline
I'm tried numerous suggestions I found online like:
1) reinstalling the package with:
apt-get install libpam-runtime --reinstall
This does nothing different.
etc.

Thank you.
You can try to completely uninstall package and install it again
sudo apt-get purge libpam-runtime
sudo apt-get install libpam-runtime
Your files on libpam can't complete or corrupt. I reccomended your download frpm library sites of libpam and trying manual installing I think so safety.
I am trying to install mesos package according to https://open.mesosphere.com/getting-started/install/#slave-setup but, when I run yum install mesos, transaction abort with error message:
Error unpacking rpm package mesos-1.0.1-2.0.93.centos65.x86_64
error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/lib/libmesos-1.0.1.so;57c7a348: cpio: read
Failed:
mesos.x86_64 0:1.0.1-2.0.93.centos65
any pointers? or is the packaging of this particular version corrupted?
I tried mesos.x86_64 0:1.0.0-2.0.89.centos65 which seems to be working.
The current mesos 1.x.x RPM installers do not handle upgrades from mesos versions < 1.0 gracefully in CentOS 6.X. A yum update of mesos from 0.28 to 1.1.0 produces the following error:
Running Transaction
Updating : mesos-1.1.0-2.0.107.centos65.x86_64
Error unpacking rpm package mesos-1.1.0-2.0.107.centos65.x86_64
error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/include/mesos/slave: cpio: rename
The workaround is to run:
rm -rf /usr/include/mesos/slave
And then re-run yum update (or whatever RPM management command you are using to upgrade mesos).
Source: https://github.com/mesosphere/mesos-deb-packaging/issues/87
[Updated:] A new RPM which fixes this error, 1.0.1-2.0.96, has been generated and is available for download at https://open.mesosphere.com/downloads/mesos/. (Thanks #js84)
A dist-update I just did hung (froze) after printing line:
DKMS: install completed.
I had to close the terminal to kill process, and to carry on did
sudo lsof /var/lib/dpkg/lock
kill -15 THE-PID
sudo dpkg --configure -a
But dist-update and command below (with output) still hangs, freezes on statement:
DKMS: install completed.

I dont think reboot is right answer here. Might not boot at all!
Gad Zooks! Any tips & tricks?
Probably should have commands below before update/upgrade but only hind sight is 20/20
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get autoremove
Thanks,
Brad
It looks like my Broadcomm Wireless drivers do not play well with latest Ubuntu 14.04 updates.
I just removed debian packages bcmwl-kernel-source and dkms.
The packages might very well run fine, but apt-get upgrade hangs, and I don't want to to deal with contantly freezing updates.
Now I can run 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' and smooth sailing.
When i try t install, i get error:
aptitude install hudson

this should work.
This question is probably best posted to serverfault.com; but regardless; it appears the mirror you are using is busted and you most likely downloaded an error page (which is why the failure). Try doing an update for your repository to get the latest mirror information.
apt-get update
execute aptitude update first
I had the same problem.
I followed the steps here: http://makeitfaster.wordpress.com/2010/12/14/install-the-hudson-build-server-on-ubuntu-10-10-server/
Which then also failed at the "sudo dpkg --install /tmp/hudson.deb" line. Then I did this:
aptitude install openjdk-6-jre
At which point hudson finished installing and came on line.
I've got the same problem...

Still don't understand what the size mismatch is - I can't see any errors downloaded.
The main difference between me and the original poster is that I am downloading 38.8MB, but it still reports the wrong size.
